You can leave PB4 at home until you can at least somewhat reliably cast the healing spell. The other spells in there aren't very useful.

Are the rods of slow monster actually helping? They have such a high fail rate, I would think they mostly just don't work. And they only slow the target by at most 20%. And drop the pebble and shots. Your chance of getting a high-end sling is exceedingly low before DL 80 or so.

They have worked every time. I assumed they were 50% slow though. I have a sling now that's (+10, +15) similar to the bow.
